When is St. Patrick’s Day? 

Saint Patrick’s Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig) also known colloquially “St. Paddy’s Day” or “Patrick’s/Paddy’s Day”  – is an annual feast day that celebrates St. Patrick (circa AD 387–493), the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on 17 March. He tried to convert the Irish people from a Pagan polytheistic religion that worshipped the sun and the moon to Christianity. He also created and taught at many schools along Ireland’s west coast. One of his teaching methods included using the shamrock ( a 3-leaved plant)  to explain the Holy Trinity (the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit) tothe Irish people. After nearly thirty years of teaching and spreading God’s word he died on March 17th 461 AD. Soon after his death the country of Ireland decided to remember his death with a day of his own and thus St. Patrick’s Day was born.
